title: N-tert-Butyl-2-(2,6-di-chloro-phen-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-amine.
abstract: In the title compound, C16H16Cl2N4, the imidazole ring mean plane makes a dihedral angle of 70.01 (1)° with the phenyl ring. The Cl atoms deviate by -0.0472 (6) and 0.0245 (8) Å from the plane of their attached benzene ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.
